ABLTC Foundation Holding its 19th Annual
“Spring Silent Auction Spectacular”
The ABLTC Foundation is proud to announce its 19th Annual Silent Auction Spectacular, the organization’s signature fundraising event supporting the programs of the Alliance for Better Long Term Care.
For more than 35 years, the Alliance has advocated for the rights, dignity, and quality of life of Rhode Island’s older adults, caregivers, and individuals receiving long-term care services. Through education, direct support, community programming, and collaborative advocacy, the organization empowers those it serves with the tools, information, and representation they need to thrive.
This year’s Silent Auction will offer both virtual and in-person participation opportunities. The online auction opens Thursday, April 2. The live event will be held Thursday, April 9, from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Warwick Country Club.
According to Joann Leonard, Committee Co-Chair and Board Treasurer of the Foundation, this signature fundraiser plays a critical role in supporting elderly and disabled individuals, as well as those who have experienced financial exploitation or neglect.
“The Silent Auction is our biggest fundraiser of the year,” said Leonard. “We’re working hard to make this the most successful event yet, thanks to the generosity of our supporters and the incredible quality of donated items.”
The auction will feature an exciting variety of items, including autographed memorabilia from local sports legends and Hollywood icons, gift cards to local restaurants and services, fine wines, games, day trips, and tickets to plays and sporting events. Past auctions have included highly sought-after travel packages to destinations such as Tuscany and Hawaii, often sparking spirited bidding among participants.
“Your generosity directly impacts those who need it most,” Leonard emphasized.
Virtual participants can bid on curated packages and themed gift baskets featuring local businesses and services. The online platform will also include raffle drawings and special “Buy Now” opportunities.
Guests attending the live event will enjoy door prizes throughout the evening, as well as exclusive Live Auction experiences. Featured items include a getaway for two at Mohegan Sun with dinner included, a catered event for 20 complete with bartender and DJ, and a seven-day trip for four to Italy.
In addition to bidding, supporters may make one-time donations through the event website. Contributions of any size help advance the Foundation’s mission and expand its reach. Sponsorships and additional donations are also welcomed to further strengthen these vital programs.
The ABLTC Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and all funds raised directly support the Alliance for Better Long Term Care and its services.
